I remember being at PwC, I was a high performer. Asked my relationship partner to meet to discuss a path to early promotion. His/Her response was "why does everyone want an early promotion around here". The advice I got was to network with partners...Thanks for the help.

Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.
